Chapter 73, why didn’t anyone hit him?
The next day, early in the morning, the sun was about to rise, and the sky was just getting dark.
In the outer city of Fuxing City, many soldiers were on duty all night.
At the front, the people in charge of setting up the card were two major officers.
One of them said: "Last night, Randolph didn't come back. I don't know if he was dead or was detained by the governor."
Another asked: "Is the general angry?"
"No." The major replied at the beginning, "The general was quite happy to see that the governor's team really stopped outside."
"Quite happy? Randolph is his nephew."
The first person just shrugged and said that was how it was.
"How cold-blooded, poor Randolph."
While chatting, one of them suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the dim morning mist outside: "What is that?"
The other person followed his hand and pointed towards it.
It's not completely dawn yet, there's not enough light, and there's still morning fog this morning, so visibility isn't very good. But he could still see, vaguely, several giant-like figures slowly approaching.
The two looked at each other. One stepped back and blew the whistle, alerting the soldiers stationed in Luka. The other raised his gun and asked into the thick fog: "Who is he?"
< br>
However, there was no response from the fog. The figure walking in the thick fog said nothing. But after getting a little closer, the sound of heavy footsteps came.
The footsteps came a little abruptly, there was no sound at all before, like ghosts; now after they saw them, the footsteps were so obvious and heavy, as if war drums were beating in their hearts.
He had realized who it was, but he didn't know what to do.
Fire? Don’t dare!
First of all, he did not dare to take the responsibility for firing this first shot;
Secondly, and more importantly, as he was standing in front of Luka blocking the road without even a bunker, if he dared to fire the first shot, he would die in the next second.
But no matter?
While he was struggling, he discovered that the soldiers stationed behind him had all prepared themselves after being reminded by the fellow officer who had just talked to him. There were dozens of guns pointed at this place, which reassured him a lot.
He looked forward again and asked again.
"Who is it? Please reply!"
This time, there was still no response.
However, as the footsteps got closer, he could already vaguely see the person coming.
The fiery red power armor and the iconic huge body undoubtedly represent their identity. Although they have never seen the man surrounding them, he must be the Governor.
As they got closer, the blocking officer became more and more nervous, his hands sweating on his weapons.
He couldn't help but issue a third warning.
"Please stop, you are not allowed to pass!"
There was still no response, as if what was approaching was not a living person, but a group of ghosts.
After the third warning, the visitor was already very close.
He couldn't help but turn around and look at his companions, as if he wanted to know from them what to do next. As a result, he found that his companion was also looking at him, with the same question in his eyes. According to the rules in the wasteland, if you encounter this kind of situation, you must not say anything and just take a shuttle first. Once the person dies, there will be no threat.
But here right now, regardless of political rules, the rifles in the hands of the soldiers are shooting at these men of steel. Will it be useful?
what to do?
No one knows what to do.
Under hesitation, entanglement, at a loss, and under tremendous pressure and tension, these blocked soldiers and officers just let the Space Marines and Battle Sisters escort the Governor to come to them.
It's time to make the final decision.
The officer who had the final say still did not dare to order the shooting. But he couldn't just let the person go.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and bravely stood in front of the people who were advancing step by step. He extended his palm to the leading Space Marine in a gesture of refusal, and said at the same time:
"Stop moving forward! Forbidden ahead..."
There was a muffled sound of ‘dong’.
His head was flat.
The red-armored warrior walking at the front had no intention of stopping. Facing the obstacle, he just stretched out his hand, as if to fend off a fly, and slapped the officer on the face with the back of his hand.
The movement was too fast, and the officer did not react at all, let alone make any dodge movements. His head was deflated as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer.
The splattered blood stained the bright red armor was inconspicuous at all.
His body fell crookedly to the side, his legs and feet still twitching. The already shapeless head continued to flow out blood, and soon formed a large pool.
No one cares, no one cares.
The Angel of Death's pace didn't even change at all. And the people who followed him didn't even look aside. Not even the battle sisters of Holy Mercy Lily had any reaction to this.
The leading officer was dead, but the soldiers still dared not fire, even when the Space Marine kicked Luca over.
No one dared to stand in front of them.
So they let the governor's procession pass.
As for the road behind, Gu Hang and his group walked smoothly.
Although people died on the first road, there was actually not much movement. There was no sound of gunfire and no sound of artillery. Many soldiers at the back had no idea what was going on. Quite a few of them were even still asleep and did not wake up.
Under such circumstances, Gu Hang and his party, a total of 19 people, walked swaggering on the street leading from the outer city to the inner city gate.
The environment in the outer city is not good. It is built haphazardly and without planning. Many alleys are very narrow and look like a typical high-density slum. However, the avenues extending outside the several gates leading to the inner city remain spacious.
The heavy feeling created intentionally when the power leg armor lands on the ground can float very far. Many soldiers on duty, those who woke up, and those who poked their heads around saw them.
The majestic and mighty space warriors and the heroic battle sisters are dazzling to watch, and they also highlight the dignity of the governor under their protection.
Can these little soldiers deal with such a person?
No one dared to think so.
But at the same time, they felt a lot more relieved.
Previously, General Mondock had been resolute in not allowing the Governor to enter the city, and he also showed that he wanted to confront him forcefully. Now, thank God General Mondoc has changed his mind.
——Most of the soldiers at the rear did not know what happened to Luka. Seeing the governor and his entourage walking arrogantly on the road, they thought this was normal and that the general allowed them to pass.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t anyone hit them?
